President Trump Defends James Comey Firing

President Donald Trump defended his decision to fire FBI Directer James Comey, promising to install a much better replacement.

“James Comey will be replaced by someone who will do a far better job, bringing back the spirit and prestige of the FBI,” Trump said on Twitter.

He accused Democrats of hypocrisy, reminding his followers that they hated Comey for his actions during the election.

“The Democrats have said some of the worst things about James Comey, including the fact that he should be fired, but now they play so sad!” he wrote, taunting “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer” for acting indignant after the decision was made.
